Malta Street Art and Graffiti Guide: Murals, Photos and Hidden Spots

These photos were taken at two of the easiest places in Malta to see street art up close: Birżebbuġa Skate Park and Msida Skate Park, close to the University of Malta. Both are open-air public spots you can usually visit at any time, and there is far more art there than I could fit on this page. What you see here is only a sample.

Birżebbuġa is the easier, more relaxed stop. The skate park itself is worth a look, but the bigger draw for many visitors is the setting around it. You have shops nearby, the promenade, swings for children, and the view across the water towards the Freeport. It feels like the sort of place where you can combine a casual walk, a coffee, and a quick look at the walls without making a whole trip out of it.

The Msida skate park, near the university, has more variety in my opinion. It feels more layered, more urban, and more interesting if you are specifically going for the street art. Part of the experience is getting there. The area around the university includes underpasses and tunnel-like walkways, and that approach adds to the atmosphere. For orientation, this is one of the entrances to the Msida skate park, as it is confusing to get in it.

Street art in Malta is not neatly packaged into one famous district. You find it in skate parks, tunnels, stairways, side streets, and odd corners that most tourists pass without noticing. That is part of what makes it interesting. It gives you a different view of the island: less polished, more local, and a bit more raw.

These Pictures are from Selmun, This area offers some fantastic views, but please use extra caution because the building are crumbling and falling. There are many warning signs. From the outside, it is much safer but still there are some holes here and there. Be careful!

 I took these pictures from the outside of the old crumbling Germa Hotel, at the very tip of Marsacala.
